It’s almost Valentine’s Day, but you can make a pledge to your sweetie that will last well beyond Tuesday’s holiday.

February is American Heart Month and the emphasis is on keeping us all heart healthy. The older I get, the more I think about this. I want my ticker – and my honey’s ticker – to stay healthy forever.

So…now is the perfect time to try these heart healthy steaks and beef tips. They’re certified by the American Heart Association and they are leaner cuts than you’d find on just any old steaks.

Pretty cool.

Some of them are seasoned heart healthy steaks and some are unseasoned. I think I’ll try the seasoned ones for a little extra kick.

Speaking of KICKING, I’m ramping up the exercise, too. I’m serious about this.

There’s nothing more romantic than a gesture that says, “I want you around for as long as possible!”

It’s Groundhog’s Day!

And Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, signaling 6 more weeks of winter.

If you believe in that sort of stuff.

Either way, it’s fun to get into the spirit of a seemingly meaningless holiday, so why not make a Groundhog Meatloaf in the shape of our favorite rodent?

See, if you didn’t like his prediction your mind can go all sorts of places while you’re eating this meal. And if you did like it; well, it’s a cute way to honor the little guy who brought you some hope and enlightenment.

I like bacon. Maybe you like bacon.

But do you like bacon enough to want your home to smell like it constantly?

If so, this bacon-scented candle just might be the ticket for you.

Personally, I only like to eat bacon. True, the smell is divine. But I don’t necessarily want it to linger. Forever.

I like bacon on my filet mignon. With my eggs. On a BLT.

But NOT wafting through my living room when guests are over.

What about you? Does the thought of a bacon-scented home make you giddy? No judgment here if it does. I get it. Really.
